AVP Manhattan Beach Open

I didn't realize shooting volleyball would be so challenging - with all the people around the courts, my camera had trouble focusing on my subject.  And since I wasn't in a designated photo location, I really struggled with the net.  Did some creative editing on some of these, but all are true-life colors.

thanks, and that's a great point - I always have to remind myself that there's more to sports photography than intense action shots.  The emotion driving the competition is a key component too!
